Just
look at the shape of this brush? It looks like something that Japanese Geisha
would use on their face. So pretty, like an object
d’art or something. Brush ini bagus dipakai untuk blush, setting powder,
hightlight, dan contouring.

Menurut
keterangan di kemasannya, krim ini berguna untuk mengencangkan, menghaluskan,
and all around anti-aging treatment. I can’t fully say about those benefits but
my skin does getting smoother and more radiant.

Nah,
sekian dulu haul untuk kali ini, semoga informasi yang kutulis bermanfaat bagi
kalian para pembaca tersayang. I have so much fun making this post, if you have
question kindly leave a comment below or for faster response, contact me
through my Instagram @missmelisalo see you all next time.

They
have two colors which are Topaz (sun-kissed bronze infused with real golden topaz)
and Quartz (pale champagne infused with rose quartz). Mine is the Quartz one.

It
is claimed to be hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, paraben free, fragrance
free, not tested on animals.

Pros

The
twist packaging is simple and compact.

The
solid stick is easy to use. I like to apply it on my brow bone, cheekbone, and
cupid’s bow.

It
applies very natural, “a dew-effect” and not glittery. It is the most natural
compared to RMS Living Luminizer, The Balm Mary Lou and MAC Soft & Gentle.

The
color Quartz blends beautifully on my NC 25 skin, it is not too frosty or too
peachy.

Cons

Not as long lasting as other pressed highlighter on the market, but I don’t mind reapplying througout the day.

If you like super shiny highlighter you might not like this one.

Overall,
I am very happy with Halospoce, I see myself reach this product on everyday
basis. I bought mine through my friend who live in USA, he hand-carried it to
Indonesia, it was USD $ 22. Check Glossier website here.

I
would like to confess that I can’t get enough of Kylie Cosmetics products. I
keep coming back for more despite all the controversies surrounding the brand
such as:

The
somewhat similar ingredients with Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip with a very
different price point (readhere). As you know, Colourpop Ultra Mattes are
very affordable and Kylie Mattes are more expensive. In this case I would like
to speak from my experience (I wrote here) that both products feel
completely different on my lips. Kylie Mattes are more comfortable and all
around better formula than Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick.

Customer
complaints about brush condition and quality on their first Lip Gloss batch
(read here). However Kylie and team already addressed it and thankfully I
always get a perfect Lip Glosses.

Stolen
packages due to their recognizable boxes design. Now they have changed their
boxes to be less striking. (Read the news here)

F
Rating from US Better Business Bureau regarding unresolved delivery and
customer service complaints (read here). But the F rating was dropped and now
Kylie Cosmetics rating is changed into NR (Not Rated).

Some
of the KyMajesty Metals delivered to customers in half-empty condition (check here).

Despite
all the controversies, I have to give credits to Kylie Jenner because Kylie
Cosmetics is a brand that becomes global sensation in such a short period of
time. As a business owner myself I can understand that it is not easy to
fulfill increasing demand, maintain high quality standard and reach on time
delivery in such a short timeline. Mistakes sometimes happen and the most
important thing is Kylie and teams acknowledge their customer concerns and keep
increasing their whole business practices. Salute to Kylie, not many 19 years
old can do such thing. I wish her more success in the future.

Before
this post, I have written about my journey to get my hands on Dolce K Lip Kit, it
was very hard to come by then, you can read my whole story here. Now so many
online sellers in Indonesia offering Kylie Cosmetics products in different
price points, I manage to get some more that I will show you below. If I get
more products in the future I’ll make sure that I update the swatch on this
post. Now let’s jump to the review.

Product Features Kylie Lip Kit:

Kylie
Lip Kit packaged in a sturdy slim box with the famous lip design in the middle.
I heard that this lip design was inspired by Kylie Jenner’s lips herself. Inside
there are two products; Matte Liquid Lipstick and Lip Liner.

The
Matte Liquid Lipstick packaged in skinny long transparent tube with doe-foot
applicator that gives a precise application.

It
has a quite strong cherry vanilla scent that lingers on my lips. Even though the
scent do fades and not as strong as it first come out from the tube.

The
Lip Liner gives a matte texture. It is smooth and glides on easily. According
to Kylie Jenner Twitter, this Lip Liner can be sharpened just like any other
pencil lip liner in the market. I sharpen mine with MAC pencil sharpener.

Slighly
drying after a couple hours. To be fair this is liquid lipstick, dryness is in
their nature, but Kylie Mattes are not as dry as other liquid lipsticks such as
Colourpop. I find that Kylie Mattes formula are among the best in the market.

Product Features Kylie Lip Gloss:

Packaged
in skinny long transparent tube with soft bristles applicator. I do prefer
doe-food for faster application but this brush is not bad. It just matter of
preference.

Posie K is dark pinky-mauve. I got mine from IG @kyliecosmeticidn her line ID is @ivyhidayat

Koko Kis cool tone pinky-nude. I got mine from IG @kyliecosmeticidn her line ID is @ivyhidayat

Lip Gloss Pros:

Very
pigmented. Usually glosses are sheer but these Kylie Glosses pack a punch of
color in only one swipe.

Creamy, hydrating
and non-sticky. Very confortable to wear.

Lip Gloss Cons:

Nothing!

Where to Get:

I
got all these Kylie Cosmetics products from trusted online sellers in Instagram
such as @thebeautycrest, @faceshionaddict, @kyliecosmeticidn (Line ID @ivyhidayat), and @joancorner
I have proven that these four sellers are honest and selling authentic
products, you might want to contact the sellers directly for the price.

That’s
all for the review today, I hope you like it. I do have a great time making it. Tell me what you think about Kylie Cosmetics products below. Until next time xoxo.

today I would like to do a quick preview
about what’s inside my everyday bag and makeup bag. The bag that I currently
using is Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30 Ebene with my initial on it, I’m
wearing it non-stop since my boyfriend bought it for me at Pacific Place
Jakarta a while ago (read our shopping trip here).

Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30 is
the perfect starter everyday designer bag, this bag is beautiful, sturdy, and goes
well with everything. Without further ado, let’s peek at what I usually carry
with me on daily basis.

Phone and portable charger (not shown)
because the charger was being charged and the phone was being used to take
pictures.

Wallet is Louis Vuitton Elysee. It has
developed patina since the first time I got it. Read my full review about this
wallet here. I usually carry the usual things, money, debit card, credit card,
ID, driver’s license and registration.

Pen, ulcer medicine, tissue.

Makeup Bag from Victoria’s Secret
which contains some products to keep me looking presentable throughout the day.
The content may vary from day to day because we makeup lover do not wear the
same lip color everyday.
